授業の目的（意義） / Importance of this course
Please refer to the English version below.
This course aims to arouse students’ interests and attention on knowledge management (KM) programs implemented in organizations through a series of chosen case studies. Specifically, students will first examine the essential components of effective KM strategies and how the implementation of KM is related to human resource management (HRM). Next, students will examine the role of information technology (IT) in KM – is it a useful tool or an unjustified obsession? Then, students will look at the phenomena of knowledge creation and sharing – the factors motivating and hindering the creation and sharing behaviors of organizational members. Lastly, students will go through the topic of knowledge protection – how to achieve a balance between sharing and protection of an organization’s intellectual properties. Case studies are employed in class to enable students to learn flexibly and creatively.
